GUI-driven tool upgrades parametric test system
Keithley Instruments has upgraded its S530 Parametric Test Systems. A new GUI-driven tool expands diagnostic coverage for all system instrumentation and matrix pathways, providing greater confidence in the health of the system. Additionally, users can run the system verification tool to ensure the S530 is within its published system specifications.
15GHz point to point GaN PA MMIC
Plextek release a video tutorial on the design of GaN power amplifier monolithic microwave integrated circuits for use in 15GHz point to point microwave links, using Agilent's ADS software, and Cree's 0.25um GaN on SiC process. Emphasis is on designing GaN PAs for high linearity, rather than just saturated power. The resulting MMIC layout is somewhat smaller than commercially available GaAs die offering comparable performance.
Hybrid and pure electric vehicles market to reach $334 Billion by 2023
IDTechEx have forecasted that the total global gross value market for hybrid and pure electric vehicles will reach $334 Billion (USD) within the decade. Nearly always purchased based on the total cost of ownership rather than up-front price, IDTechEx expects this to consist primarily of large or very heavy duty military, industrial and commercial vehicles split evenly between on-road and off-road types. The multi-billion dollar marine sector is e...
New PFC controller cuts power consumption in half
Texas Instruments has announced the release of the UCC28180 8-pin power factor correction controller. Featuring the industry's widest range programmable frequency operating in continuous conduction mode, the UCC28180 delivers power factor correction greater than 0.95 and also cuts power consumption in half, compared to existing solutions.
